Atomic nuclei with “magic numbers” of protons or neutrons in their nuclear shells are extremely stable. Nuclear physicists ...

"With only one proton less than tin, indium isotopes (Z=49) offer an excellent laboratory to study the evolution of nuclear ...

The nucleus of each atom contains protons and neutrons. While the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, etc.) and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, ...

Visualization of the evolution of the nuclear size and shape from indium and tin isotopes between the major nuclear shells at N=50 and N=82, where N is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms. Although they do not emit radiation, their unique properties enable them to be used in a broad variety of applications, including water and soil ...
